Some stuff on the NX from GAF

  • Well, the engineering manager and the lead architect for the NX chipset appear to be NTD guys.

"The lead graphics architect, which has already been hired, was expected to have good architectural insights and the ability to apply that for setting future graphics direction for Nintendo.

Anton Shilov

Historically, Nintendo developed key technologies and processors for its video game consoles at its research and development facilities in Japan. However, it looks like for its next-generation game systems the development of key system-on-chips will be carried out at Nintendo Technology Development, a subsidiary of Nintendo based in the U.S.

Nintendo Technology Development subsidiary was established in 1996. NTD has co-developed hardware with what is now called the Nintendo Integrated Research & Development division, but its main focus has always been the creation of various software technologies, hardware tools and development kits for Nintendo platforms. It looks like the role of NTD is changing.

In the recent months NTD started to hire various hardware specialists, including a lead graphics architect in the system-on-chip architecture group, reports GameSpot. Nintendo revealed at LinkedIn that the group is responsible for the architecture of Nintendo’s game console SoCs.

The lead graphics architect, which has already been hired, was expected to have good architectural insights and the ability to apply that for setting future graphics direction for Nintendo. Among the responsibilities of the candidate, Nintendo listed evaluation of hardware graphics offerings from SoC solutions available in the market based on performance, power, and silicon area. Moreover, the lead graphics architect is to act as the graphics architectural evangelist working with global Nintendo teams for future and on-going programs, a clear indicator that NTD is now responsible for the key hardware for Nintendo’s next-gen game consoles.

While Nintendo has developed virtually all key technologies for its gaming platforms in Japan, it is pretty obvious that nowadays the U.S. has a clear lead over any other country when it comes to creation of chips. Moreover, system-on-chips for Wii and Wii U, which were designed in Japan, have failed to beat chips that power competing game consoles in terms of performance and functionality. Furthermore, the architecture of Nintendo’s recent platforms is not exactly software developer friendly, which is why the company has to rely on first-party titles as a primary way to improve popularity of its consoles.

While Nintendo has not confirmed that it moved development of its chips from Japan to the U.S., it is clearly a logical thing to do. Both Microsoft Corp. and Sony Corp. develop their hardware platforms in the U.S., which allows them to build high-performance chips and developer-friendly consoles. Looks like this is exactly what Nintendo wants with its next-gen system.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Nintendo is probably on the lookout for its “own” Mark Cerny (the lead architect of the PlayStation 4) these days… The problem is that even if the company gets a number of ingenious developers like Mr. Cerny, it will need to change its hardware design paradigm. Nintendo needs to develop leading-edge SoC (in terms of performance and functionality) for its future platform. If Nintendo continues to insist on low-cost hardware, it will be impossible even for a genius to develop anything decent.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Shuts Down A Homophobic Troll In The Best Possible Way

On Friday afternoon it was revealed that America had finally ruled that every single state in the country would allow same-sex marriage because, y'know, #LoveWins.

As a result of the supreme court ruling, which nicely coincided with Pride parades across the globe, all of social media quickly turned into a flurry of rainbows, with Facebook even creating a seriously nifty app that layered a rainbow flag over your profile picture to showcase your support.

It was pretty cool.

Anyways, obviously a whole load of lovely celebrities publicly celebrated the ruling, including the likes of Harry Styles, but it was when veteran actor, action man, and former Californian mayor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, got involved that things took a turn for the amazing.

The 67-year-old Terminator star said in a statement that this new law was most definitely "the right decision", before changing his public Facebook profile picture to a shot of himself as the Terminator, complete with rainbow flag.

True to form it wasn't long before those pesky Internet trolls reared their heads, and one in particular, Jakub Bielawski, got the shock of his life when he commented: "What's wrong with U Arnie? I have to unlike..." on the new pic and the actor actually responded, simply slaying with one of his trademark catchphrases:  "Hasta la vista."

WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY TO BE ALIVE, SLAY, ARNIE, SLAY.

Happy Canada Day!!

Does anyone have a tip on how to beat the Metal Gear Rays in MGS2?  This has got to be the most annoying boss fight ever.  I beat about 3 of them but there keep bringing new ones so I'm always fighting against three of them which is very difficult and very annoying,  I'm going to give up if I don't beat this stupid boss soon.  This game has been piss easy so far and now this?

Oh....Suzuki also really wants to get an HD package out "before Shenmue 3" with Shenmue 1 & 2 in it.

That would be amazing.

I've been wondering about that too. Hasn't been down as far as I can tell, I think people just try to avoid me.
